THE MATCHUPNebraska opens the 2016 season on Saturday night with a non-conference matchup against Fresno State at Memorial Stadium. The game is set for national television on BTN, with kickoff set for shortly after 7 p.m. CT.

The game with the Bulldogs opens Nebraska's second season under Head Coach Mike Riley. The Huskers return 16 starters from last year's team that capped the season with a victory over UCLA in the Foster Farms Bowl.

The Huskers have ample experience on both sides of the ball, returning a four-year starter at quarterback, multiple offensive skill position players and a strong core of experience on defense. While the Huskers are unranked heading into the season, Nebraska did receive votes in both the USA Today and Associated Press preseason polls.

Fresno State posted a 3-9 record last season, including a 2-6 mark in the Mountain West Conference. Coach Tim DeRuyter is in his fifth season as the Bulldogs' head coach and welcomes back 10 returning starters.

The matchup with Fresno State completes a three-game series between the two schools. The Huskers defeated Fresno State in Lincoln in 2011, before winning on the road in Fresno in 2014. The three games in the series are the only meetings in school history between the Huskers and Bulldogs.

FIRST-TIME STARTERS SET TO HIT THE FIELD ON SATURDAYWhile the Huskers return several players with significant starting experience, the season opener will also mark the starting debuts for several Huskers.

Numerous Huskers could make their first career starts against Fresno State according to the first NU depth chart. That group includes at least two true freshmen.

2016 NEBRASKA FOOTBALL GAME NOTESPAGE 4


WILSON COULD JOIN EXCLUSIVE CLUB AT NEBRASKATrue freshman offensive guard Boe Wilson has contended for playing time at guard during fall camp. Coach Riley has indicated the staff would like to redshirt Wilson, but if he were to see action or start a game this fall he would be in rare company.

Since freshmen regained eligibility in 1973, just five true freshman position players have started a season opener for the Huskers. Two of those came last year when linebacker Dedrick Young and safety Aaron Williams were in the lineup for the first snap vs. BYU.

In addition to Wilson, true freshman punter Caleb Lightbourn is expected to earn his first career start on Saturday.

TRUE FRESHMEN TO START A NEBRASKA SEASON OPENER*• Dedrick Young, LB (2015)• Aaron Williams, S (2015)• Tyler Moore, RT (2011)• Terrence Nunn, WR (2004)• Ralph Brown, CB (1996)*since 1973 when freshmen were made eligible

Offensive linemen seeing action at any point as a true freshman has been a rarity at Nebraska. Wilson could become only the fifth true freshman offensive lineman to start a game at any point during a season if he earns that distinction this fall. He would be just the 11th true freshman offensive lineman to play at Nebraska.

FOUR TRUE FRESHMEN SET TO PLAYRiley said after practice on Saturday, Aug. 27 that four true freshmen will see action this fall. That group includes punter Caleb Lightbourn, I-back Tre Bryant, cornerback Lamar Jackson and safety JoJo Domann.

Wilson leads a group of several other Huskers who are still on alert to play if needed in 2016.

NU OFFENSE LOOKS TO BUILD ON SUCCESSFUL 2015The Nebraska offense had a productive first season under Head Coach Mike Riley and offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf, and the unit appears ready for more growth this fall with many key pieces returning.

• Nebraska averaged 32.8 points per game and scored more than 30 points eight times, including five of the final seven games.

• The Huskers finished second in total offense at 446.9 yards per game and averaged 6.1 yards per play, the third-best mark in the conference.

• Nebraska passed for 266.9 yards per game to

rank second in the conference. The Huskers also allowed just 14 sacks in 13 games to rank second in the Big Ten and ninth nationally.

Brown established himself as one of the nation’s top kickers as a sophomore and earned second-team All-Big Ten honors last fall.

Brown made 21-of-27 field goals in 2015, including each of his last 11 field goals. Nine of the 11 field goals in his streak were from at least 40 yards, and the streak of 11 straight made field goals is tied for the fourth-longest streak in NU history.

• Brown connected on 13 field goals of at least 40 yards in 2015. He was 13-of-17 from beyond 40 yards, including 12-of-14 from 40-49 yards.

• Brown’s 13 field goals of at least 40 yards tied for the most nationally among all kickers, matching the total of Joey Slye of Virginia Tech. Only five kickers had at least 10 field goals of 40 yards or more in 2015.

• In Big Ten Conference games, Brown connected on 12-of-14 field goals.

• Brown’s 21 field goals in 2015 were second on the Nebraska season list.

BLACKSHIRTS LOOK TO STUFF THE RUN AGAIN IN 2016The Nebraska Blackshirt defense enters 2016 with a goal of making big improvements in pass defense and pressuring the quarterback. The Huskers also look to duplicate their 2015 success in stopping the opponent run game.

The Huskers allowed opponents to rush for 109.9 yards per game, a mark that ranked second in the Big Ten and ninth nationally.

Nebraska closed the year by shutting down UCLA’s run game in the Foster Farms Bowl, limiting the Bruins to 67 rushing yards. UCLA was the fifth opponent Nebraska held to less than 90 rushing yards in 2015.

• NU was 5-0 in games when opponents rushed for less than 90 yards.

• Nebraska held Southern Miss to 11 rushing yards, its best run defense effort since Michigan had -17 rushing yards in 2013. South Alabama had just 19 rushing yards.

• In Big Ten play, Nebraska limited Minnesota to 65 rushing yards, while Rutgers had just 89 yards on the ground.

HUSKERS REMEMBER SAM FOLTZ

Nebraska lost a member of its family this summer, when senior punter Sam Foltz passed away in an automobile accident on July 23.

The latest success story of the Huskers’ legendary walk-on program, Foltz embodied Nebraska’s commitment to success on the field, in the classroom and in the community. On the field, he was the 2015 Big Ten Punter of the Year and his career average of 42.6 yards per punt ranked fifth all-time at Nebraska. In the classroom, Foltz was a five-time member of the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll, and he earned his degree in agronomy last May. Foltz was also active in the community, earning spots on both the Brook Berringer and Tom Osborne Citizenship teams in 2016, when he was also awarded a Nebraska Student-Athlete HERO Leadership Award for his leadership and dedicated community service.

INITIATIVES TO HONOR SAM FOLTZ• Nebraska football players

will wear a special “SF27” decal (pictured) on their helmets to honor Foltz’s memory. The logo will also be featured on players’ game-day hats, sweatshirts and compression shirts, as well as on the coaches’ sideline polo shirts.

• Nebraska’s annual student-athlete HERO Leadership Award will be renamed the Sam Foltz Hero 27 Leadership Award. The award will be presented annually to 27 student-athletes across all sports who exhibit strong leadership qualities, commitment to service and ability to encourage/empower peers.

• The Sam Foltz Memorial Scholarship has been created and will be presented annually to a member of the football team who embodied Foltz’s traits of leadership, excellence in the community and in the classroom. The 2016 scholarship recipient will be recognized prior to Saturday's season opener against Fresno State.

HOME OF THE HUSKERSMemorial Stadium's history dates back more than 90 years. In the fall of 1922, a drive for $430,000 in stadium construction funds was undertaken by faculty, students, alumni and friends of the University.

The stadium was named Memorial Stadium to honor all Nebraskans who served in the Civil and Spanish-American Wars; the 751 Nebraskans who died in World War I; the 3,839 in World War II; the 225 in Korea; the 422 in Vietnam; and those in Iraq.

Construction was completed in a few more than 90 working days and Memorial Stadium was dedicated on Oct. 20, 1923, at the Homecoming game in which Nebraska was held to a scoreless tie by Kansas.

The field at Memorial Stadium was named Tom Osborne Field - after the Huskers' legendary Hall-of-Fame coach - in 1998, one year after Osborne's retirement following 25 years and 255 victories as Nebraska's head coach.

2016 SEASON NOTEBOOKSCHEDULE NOTES• The Big Ten Conference moves to a nine-

game conference schedule in 2016. Nebraska and the other six members of the Big Ten West Division will play four home games and five road games.

• The Huskers’ games against Maryland and Indiana will mark Nebraska’s first conference matchups with those schools. The meeting with Maryland will mark the first-ever matchup between the teams.

• The Huskers’ non-conference schedule is highlighted by the start of a home-and-home series with Oregon. The Ducks will visit Memorial Stadium on Sept. 17, completing a three-game homestand to open the season. Nebraska will make a return trip to Eugene in the 2017 season. The two meetings are the first between the schools since Oregon played in Lincoln in both 1985 and 1986.

• Nebraska will play seven games against teams that played in a bowl game last season, including New Year’s Six participants Iowa (Rose) and Ohio State (Fiesta). The Big Ten Championship Game is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 3, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

COACHING STAFF NOTES• The Nebraska coaching staff has one new

full-time face for the 2016 season, but it is a familiar one to Husker fans. Mike Riley hired John Parrella as the Huskers’ defensive line coach in February. A former Nebraska and NFL standout, Parrella returned to his alma mater after two seasons on the defensive staff at Northern Michigan.

• Parrella was an All-Big Eight defensive tackle for Nebraska and played 12 seasons in the NFL, including appearances in three Super Bowls.

• Defensive coordinator Mark Banker did not coach a position in his first year at Nebraska in 2015. This fall, Banker is coaching the Huskers' safeties, allowing Brian Stewart to focus solely on the cornerbacks.

• The Husker full-time coaching staff has numerous ties to the National Football League, led by Coach Riley. The Huskers have also added new faces in support roles with links to the NFL. Former St. Louis Rams General Manager Billy Devaney is the Huskers' Executive Director of Player Personnel and Special Assistant to the Head Coach. Roman Sapolu is in his second season as a graduate assistant with the program and is the son of Jesse Sapolu a member of four World Championship teams with the San Francisco 49ers. Chase Haslett is an offensive assistant in 2016 and is the son of long-time NFL coach Jim Haslett. James Rodgers, who played under Mike Riley at Oregon State, spent time in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons. Rodgers has joined the program as a personnel assistant.

ROSTER NOTES• Nebraska has a long history of attracting

players from all parts of the United States, and the 2016 roster is no different. Nebraska has players from 27 states and Canada on its 137-player roster.

• The Huskers have 57 homegrown Nebraska players on the 2016 roster.

• The roster includes seven additional states with at least five players. Nebraska has 10 players from California, eight each from Florida, Louisiana, Missouri and Texas, and five each from Colorado and Illinois.

• Nebraska’s 2016 signing class featured 21 players from 14 states, including multiple signees from California (4), Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri (2).

ACADEMIC NOTES• Four Huskers are playing this season as

graduate students. Charles Jackson (May, 2016), Alonzo Moore (August, 2016), Michael Rose-Ivey (August, 2016), and Corey Whitaker (August, 2016) have all earned their degrees. In addition, punter Sam Foltz (May, 2016) had earned his college degree before his passing in July.

• Nineteen additional members of the senior class are expected to pick up their undergraduate degrees in December.

• Nebraska posted a football Graduation Success Rate of 85 percent in 2015 to rank second in the Big Ten. Nebraska's GSR is the ninth-best among all FBS schools and third among public schools in the FBS ranks.

• Husker football players have combined for 107 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards. Nebraska football has produced more academic All-Americans than any other sport in NCAA history, while Nebraska leads the nation with 325 academic All-Americans across all sports.
